Instead of relying on traditional means of hiding someone’s identity in an interview—think of shadowy figures with altered voices or an off-screen disembodied narrator—France uses “deepfake” technology to overlay their faces with that of volunteers’, obscuring their identifiable features and allowing the filmmaker to show their side of the story: the heartbreak, agony, loneliness, fear and uncertainty of fleeing your homeland for your life.
APPARENTLY STRANGERS DONT RESEMBLE OTHER STRANGERS.

There's no fucking way that's real, right? What kind of a machine has a gait like that?
Are those sounds real or does it just play a recording of a cool sci-fi rhythm??

Pretty impressive whatever the hell it is, even if it's just a practical special effect!

Thousands of Iowans are still coping with the aftermath of a storm that pummeled the state last Monday with 100-mile-per-hour winds — a storm that flattened corn and soybean crops, damaged grain elevators and leveled banks, churches and homes.

As many as 14 million acres of farmland were damaged by the storm

Wouldn't be a truly GREAT depression without a severe crop shortage and inevitable famine

On the plus side, after Trump gets re-elected, in two years when he's still happily ridiculing the starving mobs of long-unemployed near-savages, he'll almost certainly be lynched

Then WWIII and a blissful end to this charade

I admire your optimism but trump's CHARISMA will certainly have his mobs lynching the non-MAGAers, then the not-adequate-dedication-to-MAGAers, and then self-lynching en masse, leaving only the 1% (DOW will hit 40,000 despite GDP going negative)

Trump's charisma will only continue to go up as he slips deeper and deeper into dementia

Your recommendation is appreciated. Shit is gold.


Is it bad that I've decided I'm commissioning a portrait of his ruined face to hang in the home I'm having built?
